P3D,Windows 10, and image

Recommended Posts

You can't avoid doing an install over an existing version of Windows as all Windows 10 free upgrades are just that (otherwise you have to buy a new key). You have to install a version of Windows (7 SP1 or 8) and activate it first. Then you can install windows 10 from an ISO or on line and tell it 'clean install'. It will automatically activate.

If you then want to clean reinstall in future, create an ISO from the current installation. The license will allow you to use it on a new machine as long as it is only ever installed on one machine.

I understand all of that - I am running RTM (insider updated 3 times) but as posted in post # 12 he could not install p3d - thats what I am questioning as I have not formatted my ssd and installed my iso yet
